If youre having trouble finding him make sure you're wearing your "Spectrecles" and make sure you're looking up. He doesnt patrol along the ground, he flies high over the island as the quest says.

We had a hunter stand on one of the higher hills on the island and pull him down to the ground. tank and spank kinda fight.

Comment by Chinabux

Coords: 71.83

Comment by Insomnia

Completed with Holy Priest and tank, both in good lvl 70 blue gear, took a while and used mana and health pots every 2 mins but wasn’t hard. Killed him on the top of the tallest mountain, he does no knock back or spells of any kind.

Comment by fong

Very easy 5 man, could probably do it with only 3, 2 at a push. Didn't cleave when I did it.

Comment by Amethyst

There is a mountain peak at 69.8, 85.9 that your group can stand on and pull him when he flies towards you.

He doesn't cleave, or knockback or anything special at all, just melee dmg.

As a 70 warrior with 12k armour, he was hitting me for about 1,000 dmg a time.

Comment by Nananea

Unless you're a tank with healer friends, don't attempt this unless the others in group are at this point. Otherwise, they cannot see him even with Spectrecles. I tried tanking as a mage and died at 95 percent with priest and paladin healing. He crit me for 5601.

Comment by Tipo

As a disc priest I did this with a mage and a hunter. If you're a healer, don't put your specs on. You'll get out of combat after a few seconds of not casting and then you can drink. When I ran low on mana had the mage blink kite him down a ramp and then iceblock while I drank. Around 20% put specs on to make sure you can loot. Not too bad once we got the hang of it.

Comment by Toadfish

Did this solo yesterday (70 hunter). Was kinda hard to kite him around on the island since there is alot of mobs around ,but i figured out a kinda clean way and got him down after 10min : >

Comment by Zyera

You do need to equip the spectrecles to see him, and he is extremely easy. My group consisted of me (warlock), a shaman, and a warrior. He didn't hit hard at all on our warrior, so our shaman just melee dps'd most of the time and healed intermittently. This mob didn't have any aggro difficulties either; I was able to go all out with no real threat creep on the tank.

Since he does pat around in the air, I recommend landing on top of a hill in his path in order to get him pulled and not have to worry about other mobs. He does no aoe abilities so everyone can basically pile up on top of the hill.

Comment by Cervande

I did this quest chain last night -- incredibly easy and high exp rewards -- with 3 lvl 67's, myself included. We had our lock fly over there with our dr00d, and had one more over there summon us all over. It's nice to be able to use the rewarded Helm through lvl 67-70.

Comment by arrg

Tried to solo as a mage since someone said he hits for 1k.

He hit my water ele for 1752, and 2290, then turned and hit me for 2716, 2865, and 2812.

So no he dosnt hit for 1k. But I had to try,lol.

Comment by Chez

They said he hit for 1k on a 12k armored target.

Comment by godrock

3 maned with mage, disc/holy priest, and warrior.

note! if u forget to put on your spectracles...wait a few secs while ur group is fighting and u will go out of combat seeing as there isnt a mob that sees u that u are fighting...i was healing the warrior for like 15 sec realized i couldnt see the dragon..waited about 4 sec ..went out of combat equipped spectracles and then back to healing tank..i was lucky haha

Comment by Rohit

Before you can do the "Divination: Gorefiend's Cloak/Truncheon/Armor" quests, you need to do the prerequisite chains. After you do these (they're pretty quick), then you can do the three Divination quests in any order you want.

Comment by seyek

Comment by Kessyra

I've completed this whole quest chain and I'm trying to help people do this quest but I can't attack Vhel'kur. Can I make myself at war with a faction to be able to attack him? I've tried the netherwing but that doesn't work.

Comment by Hatebreed0

63,31 is high ground for better attack but make sure you got your glasses or ur party members will see nothing but you attacking air

Comment by Digren

At 72, 87, there is a small peak from which a paladin can shield pull him. You can then jump down to a flat area below to fight. Just clear the nearby Overmine Flayers first.

Comment by Pookies

As of patch 2.1.1, players need to have access to or have completed the Divination: Gorefiend's Armor quest in order to see the Vhel'kur. My group found this out the hard way when a friend, who just came along to help, couldn't see Vhel'kur until we got him caught up.

Took Vhel'kur down with a feral drood, a disc/holy priest, and a dagger rogue.

Comment by toulene

Broken....

Comment by Miranda

Took him out yesterday in a group of 5. Coords for mountain peak at 69.8, 85.9 are great, but we had to clear the flayers on the nearby clearing (including a 72 Elite) before we could get him. I'm a shadow priest and stood on the peak while group waited below on the clearing. As he flew by, I threw a SWP dot on him and levitated down to group to pull him down. Easy fight. Two shadow priests with VE kept everyone healed. Only problem is that the Elite flayer respawns very quickly, but she's easy and you can easily take both at the same time. Toughest part was getting him out of the air.

Comment by Boldwyn

He can be 4-manned by 70s without any problems. We had paladin tank, druid healer, hunter and mage. He doesn't have any special attacks so it's simple tank and spank fight. I stayed on top of the mountain tanking him, rest of party was below.

Comment by Siaran

Duo'd today by two Druids, one Feral, one Balance/Resto hybrid. Long fight, but easy as pie.

Comment by Darkrift

did this quest last night 3 man. resto shaman, pally tank and mage. the mage frontloaded a ton of dmg and took aggro so they died very early. i kept the pally alive while the mage did the corpse run and we ended up killing him. pretty easy just go to the highest point on the island (coordinates above) and tank and spank em.

Comment by tlanwarrior

We just downed him, Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, and Lock, me as an enchament shammy running the healing, I didn't go OoM, nor did the tank get close to dieing.

Comment by skeightmachine

Did this quest this morning with a group of 5. Rogue, warlock, prot warrior, mage and spriest.

We summoned the warrior to the mountain in the center and cleared the surrounding flayers while we waited for him to fly overhead. The Mage slow fell down and pulled him too us (was a very good idea btw). Tank immediately took aggro and it was a very easy tank n spank from there. He does not do any special attacks or anything just like Boldwyn said above and the spriest was able to very easily heal the tank. He went down pretty easy and we went on our way. One thing that I would like to add is that we fought down the hill a bit from the 72 elite and only had to kill 4 flayers or so to clear the path.

The hardest part was getting the group together. I can easily see hybrid tanks/healing for this. Hell, we probably could have done it 3 man, it wasn't hard at all.

Good luck!

Comment by lcbagna

i just did it... i got a full group but nobody couldnt see him!! So they just healed me and i worked as tank with my elem shaman (helped by my fire elemental) without problems. I dont know why my friends didt see him but is what happened.

Comment by megatankman

I 2 manned (I'm a warrior) with my friend (resto shammy).

I used sheild wall, a pot, a healthstone, and she used 2 or 3 mana pots.

Easy.

Well it wasn't exactly easy, but it would have been had my gear not sucked.

So yes it is possible to 2 man, but you better have good gear or bring some pots and be ready to use cooldowns.

(we were planning on 3 manning but I agrod and the hunter remembered he didn't bring his helm so he had to go back to shatt. We killed Vhel before he got back from the bank)

She has nice gear so we weren't totally screwed, but being an arms warrior with a sheild and 1h on and trying to dps solo kinda took awhile.

Comment by Exodist

Got this tonight. Awesome helm. I put a +12 Stam gem(blue), a +8 Hit gem(yellow) and a +12 AP gem in it until I can upgrade my gem to a +20AP from BG Vendor. Compared to the Helm of the Claw, the Helm of 2nd sight looks much better and if you gem it up like me it has more Health and a tad more AP. This one will be a keeper for a long time.

Comment by mnkyrunner

Does everyone in the group need to be wearing the spectrecles to see Vhel'kur?

Comment by geordiesi

This is buggy if you are doing the netherwing quests and transform into an orc with a drake when you enter the netherwing ledge, I could not see or attack him with the specs on even though i have seen him before. After equiping/unequiping, relogging and equiping/unequiping a few more times he finally appeared so make sure you can all see him flying around before the pull if any of your group are netherwing neutal +. As a plus another bug which happened to me is that while flying back to shatt to change into tanking gear for the fight while wearing the specs, I transformed back into my normal character but I was still on a drake, all the way to shatt although flight speed seamed to be normal not swift.

Comment by Automation

it's important to note that he has no knockback abilities so you can fight him on the top of the peak, i don't see why you would jump down to fight him 2 manned this with resto shaman/mage easily

Comment by Mongatsumi

It is actually possible to two man this!

Just did it with a Holy Priest and a Ret Paladin. It will take a while and be prepared to chug pots and burn Shadowfiend, but it is doable. Just make sure to use the pot first, then SF, then another pot if necessary.

Comment by clatuverata

Yes, it's two-mannable.. Downed him easily as a crappy geared frost mage with help from a talanted tankadin. No pots, no healing, no nothing. Piece of cake.

Comment by greentail

as long as u have at least 3 man with flying including at least one lock any group combination is posble and easily doable! be happy locks ur gonna be more wanted for this than a run to mechanar!

Comment by tlanwarrior

Theres been a bug, that allows your healer to drink when ever they feel like.

Basically keep your goggles off, and heal like normal. When your low on mana, just sit and drink (You may have to wait 5-10 seconds between agro drops), but your be able to drink, and when hes down to maybe 10-15% HP left, just throw them on and bingo, easy lazy healing fight, and you still win.

EDIT- Why the heck was this rated down? I didn't see it at all above.

Comment by Br0die

tried this as a 4-man, 2 druids, lock and a paladin, but forgot about the goggles. only the lock and one druid had the quest and the spectrecles, so we did the fighting with the other druid and the paladin healing. we got him on the first try.

Comment by hudders

Just 4-manned it this evening.

Warrior, rogue, hunter and mage. No heals. >.<

Would have done it without any deaths, (as it was the warrior and mage both bought it), if the rogue, (me), hadn't fallen off the mountain! Interestingly you're able to get back on your flying mount even when in combat with Vhel'kur, so even if you do slip it's not all over, (just try not to fall all the way down...).

Comment by nighthore

Where do you get thease "goggles" at? cause they sure dont come with the quest. :( OK i found them.. if you all lose your pair of glasses, like i did.. you can get another pair in shadowmoon village, to the left of the Inn from a NPC. Hope this helps :)

Comment by BlutS

Just 2 manned it. Me, a balance druid with 8k armor in moonkin form and 759 spell damage, and a disc/holy priest with 1227 +healing. Had to use 2 mana-pots and innervate priest (she also had to use 1 mana-pot), but we did it :)

Comment by jackgreen

just 4 manned it. found a big clearing where a lok summoned our grp. then we warmed up on a 72 elite patrol + trash. Vehl was pretty easy after that. the hardest part was getting a group, getting the non-fliers there (lok summon), spotting and pulling him !worth the hassle tho

Comment by arsin29

Enhancement Shaman only had about 250 dps. But with the 51 point talent and his Fire Elemental, the dps was enough to put him down in under 2 min.

We switched off healing me (pally).

Comment by Grahamoo

Solo'd today as a Resto Shaman, Sunwell geared.

Comment by zw4512

Soloed today as a prot paladin, but unlike the above i didnt have such great gear. I had all blue gear except for my boots, and my stats were 11khp, 12k armor, 490 def, but the blues i had were mostly block/parry/dodge/def rating, so i had about 101% avoidance (with shield up).

The way i did it was this:1. Have the usual prot buffs on (righteous fury, devotion aura, blessing of sanctuary, shield up all the time)2. Use seal of wisdom and judgement of wisdom3. In terms of offence use only auto-attack and exorcism (libram of wracking is useful here) every time it pops up, as exorcism (for me) was hitting around 1100 damage for only 236 mana.4. Cast Holy Light every time your hp hits around 2.5k (this way you get some of the mitigation from ardent defender, and can get the heal off b4 you get too low)

Now just keep hacking away, you should be regaining mana at a rate that means you can keep the heals, your shield and exorcism up, and as i said my avoidance was so high that he didnt hit me at least half the time, and when he did it was always partially blocked. I did pop a mana pot about a 1/3 way through, LoH 2/3 through and then had to bubble near the end to get a bit of mana and health back.

This took me around 10-12 mins, but i did it first try. Tough but very satisfying.

Comment by kingjoe3rd

solo'd as a 70 Holy Paladin.

Comment by Shadowsaint

Soloed as a SL/SL (24 aff/37 demo)lock today in pretty sucktastic gear. A mix of basically quest/world drop blues and 3 pieces of the Undead gear from right before the release. Also running with Glyph of the Voidwalker(which was probably necessary given my gear and the extra 20% stamina for the ole blueberry is nice; Pet stats for the fight 12320 hits, 11627 armor, 784 attack power).

Initially pulled with CoD and let the pet pull the aggro. Popped Demonic Empowerment which increased the VW's health another 20% and added 20% to his threat generation for 20 secs. From there it was just a matter of keeping the pet up. I liberally applied dots whenever the pet had over 7k health. But other than that I was pretty much constantly refreshing health funnel + siphon life. Fight lasted approx 10 minutes. I ended it with full health and mana and the pet with about 6k health. Pet never lost threat and did this on the first attempt.

Comment by Hogly

If you have wotlk, a 75+ retadin, this is easy. My first go I got him down to 20k hp but I forgot to use lay on hands, silly me. I have northrend greens blues and a few bc epics. This is easy.

Comment by CaspianRoach

Any 80 Warlock can do this. Voidwalker, Health Funnel and watch them fight /yawnAnd remember Drain Soul tickss for 5k when the target have <25% hp

A Blood spec could probably do him at lower level. There's a Youtube video of one solo'ing Durn at 67 in just Outlands quest & instance blues. My spec is also designed for AoE tanking for fast AoE leveling, rather than single mob mt'ing.

Comment by Kurtosis

If he was 24/37/0 then he was lvl 70, so worth a post.

Comment by saiex

Well I tried to solo as a 70 enhancement shaman with mostly blues from Northrend quests/UK and got him down 50%...

Too bad this is a defunct zone, and that you need to be on the quest to fight him, I really wanted that cool hunter T2 helm instead of some dark brown bicycle helmet from northrend :(

Comment by saiex

and I got an 80 resto shaman to heal me for the fight 5 minutes later :D

Comment by K0n1jn

Comment by jaiteend

Solo'd as an 80 Resto Druid. I kept up the standard Moonfire/Rejuv/Lifebloom/Regrowth while wussily tapping at it with the mace in hand. Had to innervate once. Otherwise, no danger.

Comment by boodin

Can i come there in lvl 68 or need i an flying mount?

Comment by xbrinkofdisaster

solo'd as 80 boomkin while completing shadow of the betrayer achieve :D doesn't hit hard at all

Comment by Ferality

Yesterday i tried to solo this foe as a 77 Unholy DK. I went with ghoul, and all of my buffs. I also used frost presence, to get reduced damage. He deals heavy damage. I had to use Rune tap during the fight, and most of my Cdwns. And a runic healing potion. Also had to use Death pact to get some health, i downed him at 999 hp left. He sure was a tough fight!

Comment by palaka

solo´d as 70 ret paladin in epic pvp/pve gear, did't even have to use lay on hands

Comment by arkov

Fragile classes: don't be too worried. This quest is a fairly easy solo at 80. As a fire mage just start off with Mirror Image, throw up your Mana Shield and then burst it as well as you can. If things get sketchy then Ice Block at the end and your DoTs should hopefully finish her off.

Comment by Lightning2710

Soloed today using disc priest, level 80. Pretty easy, shield, renew, and just keep the dots up while using holy fire etc.

Comment by Yorkie

It was impossible to find a group for this quest on my server, so I just shouted for help in LFG, asking a lvl 80 healer to help me. A paladin agreed to help, so with him healing me I soloed the dragon as a lvl 68 combat rogue. It took me about 4 minutes to kill him, while the paladin did not use even 1/5 of his mana. So the quest is actually soloable if u kindly ask for help of a 75+healer. Good luck.

Comment by OleMarYUlberg

Soloed as 77 Fury Warrior, 17k HP 14k Armor w/ shield and commanding shout. stayed alive with Imp. Bloodthirst and was never under 50% HP. Took some time tho :)

Comment by Farfetch

Soloed this as a L73 demo spec warlock with Felguard out. I had 9260hp (Northrend frostwoven tailored set and TBC greens) and pet had 9165hp

I just used Corruption, Curse of Agony and Immolate on rotation and stood on the same spot. Used 1 healthstone when I was around 40% from the health funnel. Fight took about 6 minutes.

Comment by jeeff

soloed this as a level 80 feral druid. 51k life in bear form self buffed, 48% crit, 31k armor. it was tough, but being such a great player, i pulled it off. at one point i might have blew a cooldown. maybe barkskin.

Comment by GDaddy

Did this Quest solo wth lv 77 Paladin had to keep using Holy Light to survive

Comment by Mosshair

2 manned with a lvl 68 Disc priest and lvl 68 Prot warr. Tank and spank. Just dont equip the spectrecles until about 20% if you're a healer, and you'll have no mana problems.

Comment by ibechief

soloed as a 70 protection pally no problems without using potions or forbearance cool downs.

Comment by generalhiggins

not soloable as a 67 demo lock in BoA gear >.>

and apparently she corpse camps while you're sitting there waiting to use your Soulstone :-(

Comment by Ryorin86

Just did this quest on my 80 (working on loremaster)

not sure if its a common bug but I was waiting around 10 min at the spot Ive always killed him...never showed. couldnt find anything about it in comments, had the helm on too. started flying around spamming /tar Vhel found him down on the ground.

So if your having trouble finding him and have your helm on try that. hopefully it was just a weird fluke for me

Comment by Rahkitty

Proudly solo'd as a lvl 70 demo warlock.Curse of weakness was on the whole time, as well as health funnel being used the whole time. I applied corruption as often as possible and occasionally immolate; both only when I could sacrifice the downtime of not healing the felguard.I used deathcoil to restore health the first time and a pot the second time. I had a health stone handy for a third time. :)

Edit: I have BoA gear and blues from a few lower level dungeons like hellfire's.

Comment by azureheart

not sure if a bug...but i turned in all three quests....not one of them counted for the shadowmoon quest achievement. soloed as afflic 80 lock on some random peak - kept landing to see if i could reach him - with no room to move. luckily he died and landed right on top of me instead of down the hill/mountain.

Comment by Sloosh

Whenever I've done this quest it's always been from the really tall peak at 70, 86 where Vhel'kur walks right up to you. The in-game quest objective tracker points to this spot. I hate waiting so went looking. Vhel flies around the center of the island clockwise, so go counter-clockwise until you find him. Then pick a spot he's approaching.

Other people have mentioned alternate locations and the one I used today worked well as ranged. It's at 75,87, close to where Arvoar the Rapacious paths. You can safely perch and tag Vhel'kur without adds there at level 80. Level 76 and lower might want to clear some.

The hill at 72, 87 works for melee plus there are no mobs around to bother you. Same with 74,82.

Comment by tailsandy

If you find yourself stuck on a mount (seriously, it was annoying trying to fight on this mount as a hunter) use your Iron Boot flask and you will be shapeshifted into something that keeps you from mounting up. You'll be stuck in a falling animation, but you can move around and attack just fine.

EDIT: You might stay stuck in this falling animation whenever you walk around. Relogging should fix this, but it's not gamebreaking.

Comment by soydavid

I was unable to kite him to Shadowmoon Vally, me moves very slowly, but upon arriving, after hitting him a couple of times, he returns to Netherwing.

Comment by chrisben93

In the 4.0 patch I managed to solo him as a lev67 prot paladin...

took me three times to take him out, due to unlucky aggro'ing of other mobs :(but took him out eventually :)

Comment by danielschaferd

Solo'd this at as a 67 prot pally, wasn't to hard. Although it took about 5 minutes. I wouldn't suggest doing this quest by yourself unless you have some nice heals behind some decent dps. I ended up using all my holy power whenever I got 3 charges towards healing myself whenever possible. Other then that it just takes some time knocking down his health. GL & HF.

And unlike the posts above this is totally soloable in all green gear.

Comment by guffeluffe10

soloed him as lvl 67 pala with protection spec and tank gear :)

Comment by FleabagF7

Paladins, note that he is undead; Exorcism spam will make the fight much easier (but keep an eye on your mana).

Comment by PerfeCisolation

Solo'd very easily in fact as a 66 prot pally. No bubble or lay.

Comment by gspinkwrld

Dont' know what the 66 pally above me used to stay alive, but as a 67 prot pally with 13.5hp I tried soloing and was gone before he was even at 80% health. I didn't have a chance (this is my 3rd pally, because I love playing them, so do know what I'm doing). Will have to come back to this one later.

Comment by Tuddfudders

Didn't have too much trouble soloing as a Lv67 Prot Paladin. Just using Word of Glory at 3 stacks unless I'm already at 100% HP then used SotR. Fairly laughable now considering how it used to be.

Comment by Clefzor

Comment by tootsiexo

Comment by Laskrig

soloed by 69 demo lock with glyph of Voidwalker and demonic empowerment as help, but i think its perfectly doable without them and just health funneling, DoTing and using curse of weakness through the whole fight. no special gear

Comment by zeetank

If you have a flying mount, go around the island at about the same height as the blue dragons. Don't fly too close to the edge where the land is cracked; stick to the path. The target is a much bigger orange semi-transparent dragon.

Comment by Gailis

Just a NOTE for anyone that has lost their spectrecles and obviously a change in the game since Cataclysm. They can be found again at Wildhammer Stronghold and look for Zorus the Judicator.

Comment by TarlCabbot

Solo'ed this today as a 75 Enhancement Shaman using Melia's Magnificent Scepter and Unknown Archaeologist's Hammer (both of which are blue maces obtained on the AH which I enhanced with Titanium Chain) with around 6.8 k AH green and blue armor. Stood on peak in center of island and the dragon attacked me without me doing anything to draw him. Immediately threw down Strength of Earth, Flametongue, Healing Stream, and Windfury totems as a group. Kept myself alive with Healing Surge long enough to replace the Flametongue totem with the Fire Elemental totem (thereby calling up the attendant Fire Elemental) and cast Heroism. After that I just cycled through Stormstrike, Lava Lash, Flame Shock, and Lava Burst while casting Healing Surge as necessary to stay alive. The battle took about one minute.

Comment by deathbeyond

Solod as 67 Spriest. Only 7400health self buffed with only Fort. It's purely a fight of time. HAVE to have Masochism. You will take tons of damage, anywhere from 2k-5k on crits. This will however mean infinite mana, with that amount being far above the 10% requirement for Masochism to kick in. When ever your bubble is down, spam flash heal until the your weekened soul goes away. While bubble is up(and it will drop VERY fast, 1 to 2 hits usually unless you get a lucky miss) drop SW:Pain if it is not up, and after it is up, use only Mind Flay to refresh it while you are bubbled. Rinse and repeat. Only took me about 3minutes to take down the 100k+ health using this strat. Only one death on first attempt cause a 6k crit sideswiped me. Basic quest greens from nagrand(not even all the good ones since I vendor trashed the most expensive usually) and BoA shoulder/body/weapon/trinkets.

Comment by Sunac

Soloed as a lvl 67 demo lock with BoAs. After the first attempt with a felguard, I got aggroed almost as soon as I started blood funnel and was quickly destroyed, but the second time around I went with my voidwalker. Took roughly nine or ten minutes. Kept corruption, curse of weakness and bane of agony up, as well as demonic empowerment as it cooled to help him keep threat. Otherwise I just spammed health funnel, and he came down.

Comment by MrPuttsWOW

I stood on the hill at 70.97, 81.48 and he flew right over me. No problem. When he died he landed on the hill.

Comment by Bobbyboy64

Downed him twice, neither time at the 72, 87 location. Each time, he fell into the earth upon dying, couldn't loot! Could be the mountaintop is best place to pull.....Finally looted 3rd kill at suggested coords.

Comment by Saurok

Soloed as a lvl 68 frost mage, corpse fell into the ground and couldn't loot first attempt which sucked but got it on the second. Started tanking it with ice barrier then popped mirror images and icy veins as soon as it burst and popped up another barrier then cold snap, icy veins again and another barrier to finish it off.

Comment by thelandarian

If you're recruiting a friend or two to help with this, make sure they have the Spectrecles too!

Comment by Arcanehore

Make sure you have your spectacles on (you can go to wildhammer stronghold and talk to Zorus to get new ones). Don't look at the ground when you're trying to find him, make sure your video settings for distance are set to fair and if you are doing this as a group I'd suggest you have a priest/mage/rogue lure him down to the ground first by attacking him (he's pretty far off the ground), each of those has some form of slow fall.

Comment by Merum

I don't know if this has happened to anyone but me, but just in case I thought I'd add this to help someone with the same luck as mine! I logged out still wearing the Spectrecles and when I logged back in today I went to find him, but he was friendly to me so I couldn't attack him (and he was stuck in one spot instead of flying around). After some headscratching, I tried removing the Spectrecles and putting them back on and poof he was red and attackable.

Comment by Mouritz

Comment by thatcherr

Just soloed this boss on my level 67 priest (with wotlk and cata) heirlooms. Not fun but with the priest ability to generate 10% mana when hit for 10% or more of hp I could spam flash heal and cast my dots when I bubbled.

Comment by Ariztophale

Did this a second ago on my lvl 85 hunter. I targeted him and flew up on a peak. I guess this can be easier as hunter since your pet is kind of a tank but there should be no problem doing this alone. All of the group quests can be done single-handed, at least i could... You one-shoot most of the NPC:s except for the elite ones.

Comment by nhntly00

he is a flying giant bronz drake. keep flying around the island if you have flying mount. if you dont, when you see him, go to a highest point you can reach and attack him.

Comment by selkie47

Remember, if you find your "dead corpse" being camped by a vary angry dragon who just finished off your poor pet and knows you are just faking it, take off the glasses. Nothing quite like FD and having THAT looming over head as if saying, "no worries, I can wait...". >.>

Got the dragon on the third try (67 BM hunter with crab tank pet). Beast Within (x2!), keep SS and Mend Pet rolling at all times. Was a little worried a few times.

Comment by Caysters

Quest appears bugged for me. Have put on the spectrecles, have taken them off, have logged off and back on, nothing works. I cannot see the drake anywhere. Tempted to just abandon it and do something else.

Comment by icywintersky

Unless the people in your group are eligable for this quest, they are unable to see the dragon and, therefore, unable to help you

Comment by Vivesden

Found him all the way up on the tallest hill at 70 84. There are quite a few flayers and things to kill there, so be careful.

Comment by uttara

It took me half a dozen tries but I managed to solo this on a 70 hunter. I tamed a felboar and specced it into every +armor talent I could give it and the +threat talent then sent him after the dragon. I kept mend pet up on him like crazy, used his Last Stand ability around 50% and just managed to get the dragon down before my pet died. I could have done it with less attempts but I kept getting murdered by the ascendants patrolling the area.

Soloed this as a level 68 Brewmaster Monk. Most of my damage was done with Keg Smash and Tiger Palm. Here's a few tips (and annoyances) for this fight:

Make sure you keep the Healing Sphere ability ready. I had to use it quite often.

He likes to attack you at just outside the range of your Breath of Fire, so be prepared to not rely on that ability.

Be sure to shift your position from time to time to pick up the stray healing spheres. You will need them.

Chi Wave, if you have it talented, does not return to you when used on the dragon. It just has to travel too far.

If you are having issues finding him make sure to check down at ground level, I found him half-buried in the ground for some reason.

Soloed as Ret. Pally at level 68 - Nearly did it at 67 - with average/below average gear (Average wep though). Not all that hard for paladins as long as you remember to keep healing.First time I killed him however his corpse fell down INTO the mountain and so was unlootable : /

Remember to wear the goggles, he's a dragon flying above the island, he has about 102k health. I solo'd as a 70 Panda Monk

While on this quest, you may notice that the Dragonmaw Tower Controller yells, "Mulverick!" This is clearly a reference to Top Gun, when Maverick buzzes the control tower.

I just did this quest and after waiting for 25 minutes for him to fly around to the netherwing camp he never came, so i flew around the island and i found him stuck on a ledge not flying anywhere at 74:86.

Easily soloed as 68 Brewmaster. Any halfway decent self-sustaining class should be able to do this in their sleep. Just watch your HP and regen/heal when you take some damage. If you can't find him I've noticed on the last two kills I've done of him he likes to get stuck in ledges, and therefore isn't patrolling as he should.

very soloable lvl 72 prot warrior. stood on top of the hill 69.85 and threw my weapon at him to pull him down and just beat him down.shield slam devastate and revenge also did demoralizing shot to lower his attack. good luck

I managed to solo this dragon with a Marksmanship Hunter lvl 67, be ready to cast revive pet and control your focus.

I solo'ed this as a level 69 destruction warlock in five pieces of heirlooms. I found him circling around close to the edges of the island, but had to sit on top of a cliff to get in range.

Just used some mobs to get 4 burning embers, had Voidwalker up and spammed Chaos Bolt and then Conflagrate and Incinerate until he was down. It wasn't hard at all. I just assume this worked since I had one level of Wrath heirloom gear on me.
